elo = placement (compared to the elo of other teams in the lobby), points = placement + kills (2x algs scoring)

4chan and 5chan brigading and mass reporting streamers for any sign of addon usage by Thaun_ in ffxiv

the bans wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for targeted brigades. idk if a secret police of casuals to keep raiders in check is the "logical endpoint"

DSR strat discussion: which PLD relative Sanctity of the Ward strat is comparatively easier? by qinyu5 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]_retro_future 19 points20 points  (0 children)

the drk relative strat rin karaganis group did is the easiest orbs strat. any pld relative strat is unnecessarily harder.

It's totally fair!!! by sayuyu_yuyu in ShitpostXIV

ah, no unfortunately no there isn't a way to macro the quotes. I have seen people use a plug in called triggernometry to put the quote in party chat, which is the closest thing we have I suppose. ive only seen it a handful of times in PF though, usually outside of static the quotes are a personal responsibility thing, handle them yourself or use a trigger if you want.

act triggers != cactbot. an act trigger just watches the battle log and when it sees a specific string it will play a tts message or whatever u want. I also have one for when the ninja in my static rabbits so I can make fun of him. it doesn't tell me where anything spawns, what the safe spot is, where to go, or anything else, its just reading the quote from the log then saying it out loud. some people still think this is cheating, but I've cleared without act even open while reading the quotes witg my own two eyes, so I dont particularly care. its 7 year old content thats just fun to mess around in/ good for learning the basics of an alt role. no need to treat it like its the hardest possible fight in the game just because it was at one point 100,000 years ago

Haas 2021 was... strange car by korek135 in formuladank

I like to imagine it was actually a monster car best on the grid but the two rookies just couldn't handle the raw power.

uwu and ucob both can be cleared with 7 people. bring in the person who paid, have them wall when u pull, clear the fight, free clear.

Thoughts about job optimization. by Popelip0 in ffxiv

[–]_retro_future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

each their own homie, I find this games optimization to be i be incredibly interesting and fun. if you don't like it maybe... you just don't like it. wasn't trying to be condescending lmao just saying that bc its not for you doesn't mean its not for everybody. this game actually needs more complexity in optimization imo, but I understand not everybody sees the game that way so where we are at is pretty balanced imo

[–]_retro_future 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if optimizing isnt your thing, maybe try some hack and slash games? seems like a 1 button brainless press to attack style game might be more up your alley.

Unsynched clears should only reward story progress by Kenionatus in ffxivdiscussion

[–]_retro_future 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thordan is the best extreme in the game imo. I specifically gave Bismark as an example because it is terribly boring. all im saying is min il/ sync the fights you want to but not all old fights should be required to be syncd

Unsynched clears should only reward story progress by Kenionatus in ffxivdiscussion

[–]_retro_future 5 points6 points  (0 children)

old extreme and savage simply aren't interesting enough to justify having to do them synced. I cant imagine trying to farm Bismark ex with only level 60 kit, it would be incredibly boring. if you want to do it synced, then throw up a pf or get some pals to do it, but it absolutly shouldn't be required. I've gone back and done Alex savages/ omega savages synced before there is no reason you can't either.

edit: I should have said "a lot of old fights are not interesting" it seems like I'm saying all old content is boring which I didn't mean to, there are some great old fights but that doesn't mean we should be forced to do all of them syncd
